SAVE MONEY, COOK AT HOME WITH A LIFE ON A DIME

I tweak all recipes I come across to my family’s taste and to make them as healthy as possible. You can save a lot of money if you cook at home. Here are some easy recipes to add to your weekly meal plan.

Browse this recipe page and see how much money you’re able to keep in the bank each month by preparing food at home! And you can also check out Episode 103 on the YouTube channel for valuable advice on how to get started meal planning.

My goal is to have healthy and frugal meal ideas anyone can cook on this page. If you have any particular recipes you would like to see feel free to contact me and let me know! I’ll try to get them up for you as soon as I can tweak and test them out myself.

Easy Air Fryer Chicken TaquitosWe recently got an air fryer. I've been researching and tweaking recipes to make them my own. This easy chicken taquito recipe has quickly become a family favorite at our house. Batch cook and freeze for easy meal planning.

Simple SalsaThis is a super simple and satisfying salsa recipe I came up with on the fly. I'm one to experiment more than follow an actual recipe, so this isn't based on anything I found online. I came up with this based with what we had on hand.

Kid-Approved SmoothiesTry these kid-approved smoothies for a healthy and sure to please frugal breakfast or afternoon snack. I like to add flax and chia seeds to make these even healthier for my little ones. No joke, my children love these smoothies!
